Pdfgen

PDF generation API

Installation

You need node and we highly recommend installing it through a Version Manager, such as nvm. The following will install node LTS and npm

brew install nvm
nvm install --lts

We use bun to install dependencies and run the app. Use brew 🍺 to install it.

brew install oven-sh/bun/bun

Install the Javascript dependencies

bun install

Usage

Run the following command to start the server:

bun start

To start in development mode, with the server reloading on each file change, run:

bun dev

Generate a PDF

Using cURL

Send a POST request to the /generate endpoint with a JSON body containing the HTML you want to convert to a PDF.

curl -X POST "https://pdfgen.so/api/v1/generate" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"html": "<h1>Hello World</h1>"}'

The response will contain the PDF file.

PDFs are generated synchronously and are not saved to disk.
